Greed

For my final project at college I decided to do an outfit based on one of the Seven Sins. I chose to do the seven sins because looking at the fashion industry it's so wonderfully disgustingly full of sin!The sin I chose was Greed; simply because fashion is all about having more; the latest 'it' item, wearing something only once before tossing it away and needing as much money as you can to be able to afford it. I decided green was a more suitable colour than gold as these days the dollar is the widest used currency in the world. I gathered and attached the dress in places to make the skirt look as if it was almost sucking things in, give it this very glamourous look but with a darker edge. For the patterning, I looked into the ?20 note and took the bits I liked best and printed them onto the bow at the back and the skirt in fabulous dark green glitter!The photoshoot was super-fun to do and a perfect way to end the two years <3Model: MePhotographer: Paisley
